FRACTIONS?? How can flash work them out??

[Uni_student_uk webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Hey,

Im using fractions (i.e x/y) in my program and I really need a 'simple' method to work out the lowest denominator in actionscript... for example if flash generated 2/4 i need flash to know that 2/4 also equals 1/2 etc. Can anyone help me find a simle way to do this?

Cheers guys :)

convert them to their decimal equivalents, then compare them. for
example, 2/4 and 1/2 both equal 0.5 in decimal so are obviously equal.
